I held Jiang Haoyan's hand and patted his back gently, reassuring him that everything would be fine.

　　After patting a few times, I suddenly felt something wrong.

　　My fingertips felt a warm and sticky sensation.

　　I looked down and saw a deep wound on Jiang Haoyan's arm, blood flowing down his wrist and staining my hand.

　　It must have been accidentally scratched during the fight with Dage earlier.

　　Damn it! Sure enough, the next second, the zombie bared its teeth and bit towards Jiang Haoyan's neck.

　　I shoved the Seeking Dragon Ruler into the zombie's mouth and grabbed Jiang Haoyan's hand.

　　"Run!" The talisman on Jiang Haoyan's chest was originally meant to conceal his yang energy, but now with blood flowing, it couldn't hide anything.

　　We ran desperately, and at the corner of the next alley, several more people suddenly appeared.

　　I took a closer look and saw it was Store manager Hou.

　　I waved my hand desperately.

　　"There's a zombie chasing me, get out of the way, run!" Store manager Hou sneered, "I won't fall for your trick, I won't, won't fall for it- ah!" Store manager Hou was slapped away by the zombie.

　　Jiang Haoyan and I turned the corner and ran in another direction, with the zombie chasing after Store manager Hou and the others.

　　In the moonlight, in the tranquil village, with a zombie in front, Store manager Hou behind, and the top-notch expert Dage.

　　Jiang Haoyan and I couldn't run anymore, and I saw a water barrel at the door of a house.

　　With a quick thought, I walked over and lifted the lid, pulling Jiang Haoyan to hide in the barrel.

　　The two of us crouched in the water tank, covered the lid, and finally breathed a sigh of relief.

　　After running all the way, now that we have stopped, I finally have time to sort out what happened during the day.

　　I never expected that Dage would actually be in cahoots with Hou Lao Ban.

　　In this way, he must have been prepared in the village early on.

　　Every time he eats steamed buns, he takes the lead, making us have the illusion that the steamed buns are fine.

　　So, what he said about not being able to leave the village should also be false, just to dispel our thoughts of escape.

　　I just don't know if Dage was later bought by someone, or if he had other motives all along while following Liu Xiong.

　　I have a feeling that someone has set up a huge net, ready to catch us all at any time.

　　Lost in thought, I suddenly felt a tightening around my waist.

　　Jiang Haoyan held me tightly and whispered in my ear, "There are people outside."
